Mrs Merple’s Treehouse

Mrs Merple’s Treehouse by tiberium_blue is gorgeous.  Take a moment to take in its beauty… wouldn’t you want to have a treehouse that looks like this?

Ok, now you can admire the great techniques used as well, like the roof shingles, walls, curved rock wall… the list goes on.  🙂   Fantastic work.

LEGO Factory Project v2.0

Apparently this demo made at LegoWorld 2010 (Zwolle, The Netherlands) is just a teaser.  I’m impressed anyway.

This was built by Martijn Bosgraaf (Dryw Filtiarn), filmed by Peer Kreuger (mahjqa):

The details:

• Five Mindstorms NXTs
• Constructed over four-and-a-half months (Jun to Oct 2010)
• 150 hours for construction
• 100 hours for programming
• 25,000 bricks used (estimated)
• Warehouse of 95 different bricks
• 1520 bricks in stock
• Maximum model size: 16 width x22 length x 11 height
• Models designed in LDD

Amazing huh?

Martijn says “A more extensive video demonstration will come later this year when I get things reprogrammed a bit to be more efficient as it currently is“.  More efficient?  How? :O

Lowlug Castle Layout

I’ve a thing for huge castle layouts… so obviously this is too nice for me to resist posting.  This is the Lowlug castle layout at LEGO fanwelt in Cologne.  Enjoy.

Some MOCs I Like

What a crummy Monday… and thank goodness for a short week ahead (Wednesday is a public holiday in Singapore for Hari Raya Haji). 

Quite a bonaza of MOCs that caught my eye.  Enjoy…

***********************************************

This Halo Master Chief Helmet looks very much like what I see from the game.  In Benny Brickster‘s description “it is made completely out of Lego except for the visor, which is a modified motorcycle helmet visor”.  He seems to be keen on making an entire costume out of LEGO which makes me wonder how he’ll move in the costume without it breaking into pieces… or for the matter move around surrounded by a few kg of LEGO bricks…

One look at the thumbnail and I guessed this must be another entry in Castle Castle’s competition.  Castle Hadrian is  busboy489‘s entry in the  “Realistic Castle” Category of CCCVIII.

Does Kosaka-10 mean anything to you? It doesn’t, but this creation by tkh reminds me of those ‘strange’ anime displays I see in some toy stores.  By ‘strange’, I mean… erm… y’know, let’s move on…

You like flying blimps?  I think I’ve a soft spot for them…  Shamisenfred‘s “CONDOR” ostrichean smuggler is an example.

This Huge Persian Market by Brian Lyles looks fantastic. I know I don’t visit MOCpages enough and I certainly should more often with creations like this… do visit the page for more pics of the marketplace: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/235718.  So… more POP sets anyone? 😛

Continuing the somewhat Asian theme, this gorgeous Kasbah at Deir-az-Zur by davekaleta is built for the “Swords and Sorcery” final round of the MOC Olympics at www.mocpages.com/group.php/12864.

This Homage to H.P.Lovecraft by Mr. Xenomurphy looks deliciously spooky… and twisted. I’m sure it’s intentional cos it’s in the 3rd round of the Dem Bones Haunted Halloween Contest for Haunted House. Again… great presentation here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/236388.

Haven’t had a nice piratey MOC for a while. Luke Watkins‘ Rocky Reef Hideout looks great. I really like the rickety bridges.

GYUTA continues  his streak of transformable MOCs with this Transformer: Barricade. And another video below.

Some MOCs I Like

Here are some nice creations for your inspiration. 

King of Diamonds by Marin Stipkovic looks amazing.  Really impressive piece of work.

All The Kings Horses by Shmails is an entry over at Classic Castle’s CCCVIII Pastoral Life Category – I like how the action is represented by splashings in the water.  Personally, I love building competitions… there’s always an outpouring of creative MOCs when there are competitions. 

Wallace & Gromit by  MisaQa is spot on

I like how the LED lighting is used to give a fiery effect… Station on Fire by rack911

 

For Star Wars fan, here is the Cantina by  Roland :: Nienke

 

Remember the wall-E I featured the other day? GYUTA wows us next with this One Touch Transformable RC Tank.  According to him “It tranforms with just one touch from a tank to a robot, and vice versa. Also, this vehicle can be driven by LEGO RC controller, whatever its form is, a robot or a tank. If you want to watch the transform process, visit my youtube channel below” (ok, embedded so it’s easier for you) 😉

 

K, mission accomplished.  Time to play!

(Happy) Gingerbread House

Been resisting posting MOCs that caught my eye, but  lyninsquam‘s 1st MOC is too happy not to share on a Monday night (erm, technically Tue morning by the time I post this).  Love the Gingerbread men, roof tiles and large candy (umbrellas).  Mmmm… reminds me of Katy Perry’s MTV (California Girls) btw.
